HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 35-year-old man found guilty of three charges was sentenced Friday morning to two years and eight months in prison
Alonzo Moore was arrested on June 30 and convicted of two counts of aggravated assault and criminal threat.
In one incident, he allegedly threatened a 17-year-old female with a knife in the 200 block of East 4th at a local Burger King.
The victim testified that she had just gotten off work and a friend was having car trouble, so she went to help. Moore was allegedly bugging her friend and the victim asked him to leave. He allegedly refused and then pulled a knife, waving it in the air toward the victim.
Another man testified that he was there helping his sister with her car and also felt threatened by Moore, so much so, that he got back in his truck, locked the door and called 911.
He told the court that Moore kept asking, “do we have a problem here?” while holding the knife. He says he told the defendant he had a problem with him having that knife. He says he felt uneasy or uncomfortable at that point and that’s why he went and got in his truck.
Another witness told the court that he was approaching the victim holding the knife and waving in a stabbing motion.
Apparently an hour earlier, Moore also threatened a worker at a local motel. That is why the state added an additional charge of criminal threat.
Moore is currently serving time for two counts of battery of a law enforcement officer for a case in May of 2012. The sentence handed down Friday will run consecutive to the 2012 case.
He also has other convictions for aggravated assault, two counts of theft and flee and elude for cases also in 2012.
